Mac profits greater than entire PC industry

The latest figures show that Apple’s Mac line is generating more profit than the entire PC industry put together. The figures, from Horace Dediu, show that Apple Mac generated almost $1.2 billion in Q4 of last year.

How To: Turn your iPad into a MacBook wannabe [Jailbreak]

So, you want to use your iPad as a MacBook, but you have no idea where to start. See the screenshot above (and gallery below)? That is my iPad’s screen. Yes, iPad, not MacBook.

iFixit teardown of the 13″ Retina MacBook Pro includes geeky goodness and a furry kitten [Gallery]

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love checking out iFixit’s regular iDevice product teardowns. I just love taking stuff apart, up to a certain monetary value. When it comes to expensive gadgets, I’m more than happy to let someone else do it for me as long as I get to see the internals. Thankfully, I can always rely on iFixit to come up with the…
